CartelKenneth:
What sort of nonsense is that protesting against your king?

The country is practicing hypocricy.
They have Prime ministers which they can elect and fire. Lizz Truss spent only 45 days on seat because she couldn't measure up to expectations. Risi Sunak is the next and he's been questioned every single day in their house of Parliament. Prime minister nor dey sleep for there. They call that one Democracy.
Then King just come with his big head and enter seat above everybody, no voting, no election, nothing? Just like that? Because him mama die?
Na only him get mama wey die?
This part is not democracy.
So what form of government is the country practicing?

Edgarbooks:
When protesters are arrested in Russia and other countries, CNN and BBC will call the leaders terrible names. But when the UK arrest protesters, it is fine. Hypocritical hypocrites.

When UK went round the world colonising everybody , they didn't have visa
When we go there to do simple runs, they will be disturbing for visa.

Myself2:
There hoes another rare exotic bird.

Nigerians will kill and eat any animal or bird sha.

Is it hunger or ignorance ?

I don't even blame them, if they capture the bird alive, what would they do with it, take it to some government agency where the officials may sell it to the highest bidder or use it for pepper soup themselves ?

You know they eat chicken and burger in Western counties. Have you ever thought to calculate how many chickens they eat to quench their hunger?
It should be reaching 1 billion per annum. (chicken grows in 30 days)
Does nigeria have 1 billion chickens?
No.
So people will eat birds and other wildlife for meat.

RoadMozart:
Lions are omnivores sir. They eat grass whenever they're in distress.

It's like you learnt in French. French people don't used to hear word!
Translated to English, Lion is a carnivore.
See it here. Go and tell your teacher. Tell them I told you.

RoadMozart:
The grass is medicine to the lions when they have stomach troubles.

They eat grass actually.

That's what the lion told you?
You are the one that knows the lion more than the lion knows itself?

billyG:
I know d lion & I know d zoo.

Let them just eat the lion make person rest. No be by force to keep zoo.
People have not seen meat to eat, na wild monster wey wan come dey chop meat.

kay29000:
But there are consequences to our actions...this is not the wild wild west. I hear if it is an arm robber you're fighting, but not in a regular fight.

You know how messed up many of our Nigerian situations are. It's very difficult to start drawing lines and making distinctions the moment you lose your temper and get into a fight with anyone.
Go to prison and ask the inmates that killed someone, they will all say, it was a mistake, they lost self control, they were just too frustrated and angry.

kay29000:
I also don't understand that mentality too. Fight with your fists, head, knees...but why would you think of actually killing your opponent with a deadly weapon

simply put, you don't want your opponent to exist anymore.
If you only knock him out, he still exist and can come back tomorrow.
But if dead, that's the end. He will never disturb you again.

Pray for the grace NEVER to reason this way in a fight.

NoFucksToGive:
No Nigerian cares
🙄

But see as the OP carried the matter on this head even more than British people.

Chetas81:
kagboom 😜

Is it not BANG-ladesh?

Wagwanbrethren:
Why's there so mass shooting all over the world lately?
The other day it was US, now is Pakistan!

It's because of news through internet and social media.
You see some video of pictures of people in another country and think to yourself,
"can you just imagine? These people are enjoying there and I'm suffering here. Nonsense"
Next thing you carry gun and start shooting out of frustration.

Well I ported my line from Airtel to Glo and all banking apps or SMS banking don't work with the SIM anymore.
So I still buy recharge cards.

Himtulie247:
Just look at how your stupidity brought out your foolishness

It's very sad that since I was born in the 70's, before me in the 60's, 50's 40's... After me, in the 80's 90's. 00s...
it is still same type of comment we get in any Nigerian gathering.
Some will be sad that a tragedy has befallen the nation as a whole, and another set of people will tribalise it and be glad that such a thing didn't happen to their specific tribe. Next thing we have is one tribe's person violently insulting another tribe's person. So much DISAGREEMENT in this country. The nation descended into a bloody, nasty civil war in 1966 because of this type of talk and yet still, in 2023, we're still talking like that, ready at any time for another civil war to obliterate the other tribe.
This is why so many people consistently run away to foreign nations and never look back here again.

Shey na this kain road them wan bring Electric bus put?
When all the wires will short-circuit and burn the battery now.
Oyibo that designed the bus never take Lagos road into account in their designs O!.
Hen!.

hakeemhakeem:
Those asking where is electricity? Lagos has two independent powers station that services general hospitals,so powering bus wouldn't be problems

Oya now.
We will enter the bus and charge all our phones, laptop and power bank. That will be the only usage of the bus.

PHIPEX:
Am scared of any building under construction and newly built houses in Lagos these days.

We are paying the price for bypassing official channels and regulations. Everyone wants to be smart.

It's now the governor of the state that has to personally demolish substandard buildings as if there isn't any state ministry in charge of buildings.
Eh? State ministry full of hundreds of workers, collecting salary every month, does not have the power to inspect and demolish buildings.

Cooly100:
They should focus in producing quality nurses.

This is goldmine in health care abroad.

The Philippines and Indians export their nurses abroad and they send huge forex to their countries.

Philipino and Indian women are happy.
Nigerian women are always angry and vexing. Using force-force to chook the injection.
Which country will want Nigerian nurses?
The other day, one was busy doing video of a dying man to post on Instagram. The man died!

Zonefree:
An average Nigeria politician will rather die than resign.

UK and Nigeria are different countries with different histories.
You cannot expect the same results.
The whole UK speaks only English. Last-last, 4 other languages.
In Nigeria we speak well over 500 languages.
UK as been there for over 2000 years. They started having Kings and Queens for WHOLE COUNTRY in the last 1500 years.
Nigeria was never a country. Just individual tribes with their leaders minding their business.
UK explores went around the world colonising other lands.
Nigeria do not give a f*** about colonising anybody. We haven't even understood ourselves first.

kunkelhanspeter:
If abroad is so glorious like poor people here in Nigeria praise it those people won’t come back to Nigeria. Why do rich people after study they come back to Nigeria

The number one reason for people returning to Nigeria is Village.
White man is a traveler/wanderer on this earth. He moves from anywhere to anywhere. He has a small idea about his ancestors. But nothing more concerns him. He just wants to conquer any part of the earth and call it his home.
When he dies, his children just continue moving on. The white people in Australia are descendants of prisoners from England. They were banished there in 1788.
That's why their flag still resembles UK flag and they speak English. But they will never go back to UK. Americans are similar. Mostly European immigrants.
But we Nigerians/Africans are not travelers. We may move about, but still run back to our country, state, village, to MARK IT VERY WELL with our graves as our land.
White people simply do not GIVE A F*** about that!
They don't share property to their children. They sell off everything to the church or to charity. Their children can find their own square root.
[If your ancestors survived, you too can survive. Stop expecting gifts]

Tntsi:
Let the change of name metamorphos into more efficient bank services. That is what we crave for.

Zenith Holding?
That one means the ATMS will never work again.
They should have called it
Zenith Giving.

Interesting.
Are you just discovering Google Maps?

Any smartphone can use it.
Be it, N5,000 yeye phone, or N500,000 Iphone 14 Pro Mega max, factorial.
It has been available on the internet since sometime 2006 or so.

Icuib4cu:
Honestly nairaland is stale

People that don't have job last year, 2022 are still jobless this year 2023. Hence this topic will continue to remain valid.
If you already have a job that you're happy with, you won't browse this topic and you won't complain either.

Samantha124:
Immediately I entered the interview room, English decided to depart from me and stayed back outside.

There were just too much "eh" and "umm".🤣🤣🤣🤣

I found it waiting for me when I got out..🤣🤣🤣

Hmm.
I feel that one should have some experience in the job before applying for it. That initial experience is crucial.
Of course, now the question to ask is how do you get the initial experience in the first place?
Network, connection, church, Mosque. Meet the person who does that type of work you want and ask them your questions. That initial meeting will clear up all your doubts.

Approval was not given but the building reached 7th floor.
Why didn't you stop the construction in 1st floor?

Tats:
The only thing when dey make me vex small is whenever I think of the 40% tax dem dey comot from income including bonus. But at least I see what they use it for.

Yes you will see the results.
Their government is not corrupt like our own
But their weather is opposite to out own.
Loneliness is opposite to our own.
Social life is opposite
Job opportunities is opposite
Life is more than food and drink.
You will eat the food and drink there and still be depressed

QuinModah:
Which hardship?
No light hardship
Bad road hardship
No food hardship

What people keep on failing to understand is that the problems in Nigeria are solved in UK.
But the solutions in Nigeria are problems in UK.
The two are very opposite.
But both sides still have problems.

PulaPower:
If you try it in China or north Korea, nah death..

Those are not blacks..

China and North Korea are dictatorship country.
Lagos is a one state in a country called Nigeria, under democracy.
You are comparing a complete country to only one state.

Alwayshungry:
Wondering why there was no diver in the water as soon as she was spotted...
The swirl from the stationary boat could easily have capsized the doll she was on.

The boat is ordinary ferry carry people and cars to another place. It is not a rescue boat with divers and other equipment. That's why it's only shirt and knickers people you're seeing there.
See a better video of the story.

Abeg make person use broken explain am give me... Wetin happen gaun gaun

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcV57s--xSY

This is the complete story.
She went to the beach with her parents on that balloon floating thing.
Parents didn't notice when the water pushed her away. She is roughly 800m from the shore (less than 1 km)
The passing ferry (boat) saw and rescued her. But her parents had already reported her missing to local authorities and they were already looking for her. This incident took place 2 years ago, 2021.
-
The person who posted the story made it look as if, it happened today 2023, as if the girl was 1000km in the high seas. As if the girls family were careless.

ednut1:
Where in the world are Nigerian women in high demand outside Nigeria Asking for a friend

Out of all the types of women in the world, Nigerisn women take LAST position.
The next higher level is other black Africans. Above black is Indian /Asian, above Asian is European, and white American blond.
Its according to skin colour. But nigerian women is last position. They are basically UNICEF/UNHCR material. People from war torn, or flood disaster areas that require 100% Aid and rescue. They don't have anything. Just only big mouth to eat food.

Samantha124:
If you think you can use money to buy a woman's loyalty, then you don't know us women.

They'll use you to milk your money dry and then settle for a guy below your standard, and you'll be saying women are wicked.

They will leave you and go and settle for a broke useless guy?
Please explain more.

MatrixCircle:
When Universities will go on strike for one year on and of then graduate structural engineers, architects etc . This is the result.

No. This is not the result.
Useless people at Alausa is the result.
Planning permission and materials testing is done there.
The Engineer can only tell the client how much material to buy.
The client will run and call one "bastard" builder.
The builder will mix materials anyhow, Alausa people will come and see the error, but collect bribe and give the builder pass mark.
Then the building will fall.
So how does that concern the original Engineer? He calculated everything and specified the required materials. But nobody took his recommendations.
Should he take cane and start flogging the client, builder and Alausa people?
